2026 Porsche 911 GT2 RS spied for the first time

2026 Porsche 911 GT2 RS spied for the first time

The Advertiser15-05-2025
The next Porsche 911 GT2 RS has been spotted undergoing development testing on and around the Nürburgring, providing our first look at the German performance car brand's new 911 flagship, including its extreme new aero package and re-profiled rear.
As has become tradition, the new GT2 RS is likely to be the finest and final version of the current (992-series) generation Porsche 911.
Essentially a turbocharged version of the rear-wheel drive, track-honed GT3 RS, it's expected to once again combine the exotic chassis and high-downforce aero of Porsche's latest racer-for-the-road with a rear-drive version of the latest 911 Turbo's high-output boxer powertrain.

Neither of those two top-shelf 911 models have yet been revealed in upgraded 992.2-series form, but the facelifted 911 Turbo is expected to employ T-Hybrid electrification technology from the latest 911 Carrera GTS.
Therefore the updated Turbo S should easily eclipse the 478kW/800Nm power and torque outputs of the current model's twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre six-cylinder boxer engine (427kW/750Nm for the regular 911 Turbo).
But as Porsche's quickest and fastest production model, the new GT2 RS will have even bigger shoes to fill, given the last vehicle to wear the hallowed nameplate produced an epic 515kW/750Nm, so electric turbo assistance could see the new range-topper punch out close to 600kW.
The T-Hybrid system introduced in the GTS comprises an electric motor to assist the turbine of the exhaust-driven turbocharger in spinning up more quickly, all but eliminating turbo lag.
It can also harness excess boost pressure and act as a generator to create electricity for a 1.9kWh battery that, in turn, powers a 40kW/150Nm electric motor integrated between the engine and transmission.
That helps give the single-turbo 3.6-litre flat six in the GTS outputs of 398kW and 610Nm – up 45kW/40Nm on the twin-turbo 3.0-litre 992.1-series GTS it replaced.
That's enough for it to hit 100km/h in a claimed 3.0 seconds, or just 0.2 seconds more than the standard 911 Turbo (which is also only 29kW more powerful).
At the launch of the GTS T-Hybrid, Porsche engineers said there was no room remaining for a second turbocharger in the vehicle's rear engine bay, but the revised rear-end design of the wide-bodied RS vehicle in these shots could be the packaging answer to the question of how to electrify the GT2's (and the 911 Turbo's) larger-capacity twin-turbo engine.
It may look similar to the existing GT3 RS up front, but this development prototype wears a heavily camouflaged rear bumper housing separated exhaust outlets rather than the twin central exhausts seen on the GT3 RS, while the rear wheel-arches appear to be even wider again.
A new GT2 RS comes around only every seven or eight years, giving Porsche the only GT2-class street car in its class and providing well-heeled 911 buyers with a fitting, top-end swansong for each successive generation.
Like the previous 991-series model produced between 2017 and 2019, the new GT2 RS won't be a limited edition but will be made for a limited time, and will be expensive.
Ferocious enough to set new production car lap records at the Nürburgring and Bathurst, the old GT2 RS was priced at a cool $645,000 before on-road costs in Australia, where only a small number were made available.
But for another $70,000, the Weissach package allowed customers to swap the titanium roof for a carbon-fibre unit, and also get forged magnesium wheels, thinner glass, and carbon stabiliser bars and shift paddles.
An even wilder single-seat, track-only Clubsport version was produced, limited to just 200 vehicles worldwide but producing the same 515kW.
At the time, the GT2's 2.8-second 0-100km/h and 340km/h top speed made it the quickest and fastest production Porsche ever, excluding the limited edition 918 Spyder hypercar, which quoted figures of 2.6 seconds and 345km/h.
But given even the current 911 Turbo matches the old GT2's 0-100km/h pace and the Turbo S lowers it to 2.7 seconds, the upgraded Turbo S should at least match the 918 for standing-start acceleration and the new GT2 RS should become the quickest and fastest road-legal Porsche ever.

EV sales plunge forces Porsche, Fiat to slash prices across Australia

Car companies have slashed thousands of dollars from the prices of electric vehicles, with widespread discounts as buyers hit the brakes on electric vehicle sales. Electric vehicle sales in Australia are down 6 per cent compared to 2024 in the first six months of this year – and that's despite more EV options being available to customers than ever before. And we aren't just talking about the cutthroat Chinese brands reducing costs to compete – there are some surprising discounts to be had. MORE: AI system outrages drivers Porsche's Macan phases out petrol power in a bold EV move. Picture: Supplied The Porsche Macan is the most surprising offer on the table. Industry veteran Paul Gover posted on LinkedIn: 'Through all my many years in motoring I had never seen a discount on anything new from Porsche Cars Australia. Until today. 'Do Macan owners and shoppers want a Macan EV? The sales results say 'not yet'.' The German sports car specialist rarely offers deals. MORE: The best cars of the 21st century Macan EV shoppers get a '$5000 Trade-In Bonus' on all cars, plus a 'Deposit Contribution' for the new plug-in Porker ($3000 on the Macan, Macan 4; $4000 on Macan S; $5000 on Macan Turbo). Deals vary from showroom to showroom. Some are further sweetening the deal with a five-year factory warranty and five years roadside assistance at no cost. Another European brand doing discounts is Fiat. Fiat's 500e Abarth Scorpionissima. Photo: Supplied The pint-sized Fiat 500e is now being offered at a more fitting price of $38,990 drive-away – some $16,000 off the existing price ($52,500 plus on-roads). And the hotter pop-and-crackle Abarth 500e is now $43,990 drive-away, about $18,000 less than the original price with on-roads included. Fiat – part of the Stellantis Group – isn't the only marque in the stable to be chopping it up. Jeep is still doing $40,000 drive-away deals on the Avenger electric small SUV, which is the country's cheapest vehicle of its type. And there are even better prices on in-stock models with low kilometres, as low as $34,990 drive-away for a car with 2000km on the clock. MORE: Why tradies are wrong about utes 2024 Chery Omoda E5. Photo: Supplied There are also budget bargains to be had from China, too, with the outgoing Chery Omoda E5 being offered with up to $6000 off retail. The 430km-EV-range small SUV starts at $40,300 drive-away, and includes a free home charger – and it's one of the only EVs on the market with a full-size spare wheel. Cox Automotive analyst Mike Costello says the raging retail offers point to potentially bigger concerns in the industry. 'Discounts or incentives tell us there are still challenges to overcome in terms of increasing consumer demand, although there are plenty of signs that consumers will consider an EV if the price and performance is right for them. 'Over the next few years carmakers are expected to increase the number of EVs they offer to meet government efficiency targets, so there's every change that great deals will become a common sight,' he said. And while it isn't a full EV, Mercedes-Benz has even repositioned the mild-hybrid C43 AMG sedan to be almost $20,000 cheaper than before, too.

‘Highest of highs': Brad Pitt's $6m flex

Brad Pitt isn't just portraying a Formula 1 driver in films — he's also a true car enthusiast in real life. The Hollywood star's collection features a roaring V12 Lamborghini, sleek electric Porsches, luxurious 4x4s and one of the world's rarest cars. His car collection itself is estimated to be worth approximately $6.3 million. Here's a look inside his extraordinary car collection. Lamborghini Aventador One of the most impressive vehicles in his collection is the Lamborghini Aventador, a V12-powered machine capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately three seconds. It's unclear which specific version he owns, but with any Aventador, the screaming V-12 engine can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in around 3 seconds. Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon Edition Another head-turner in his collection is the Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon Edition, a 2015 model gifted to him by his ex-wife Angelina Jolie. MORE: The big problem with F1: The Movie Audi R8 Spyder There's also an Audi R8 Spyder, and it's pretty easy to see why Brad Pitt owns it. Packing over 600 horsepower and capable of speeds beyond 320 km/h, it's a fitting match for someone chasing the F1 thrill even off-set. Bentley Continental GT For a touch of British luxury, Pitt has a Bentley Continental GT. While he's rarely seen in it, the car is believed to be reserved for special events and award nights. MORE: 'Turn it off': The tech Aussies hate most Porsche Taycan Brad Pitt has been seen cruising around Hollywood in his 2023 Porsche Taycan. Depending on the model, the Taycan can have a dual-motor all-wheel drive that's capable of producing up to 751hp and can accelerate from 0 to 100 in 2.4 seconds. While it's unclear which Taycan Pitt owns, photos of him driving it around Los Angeles suggest it could be his new daily vehicle. Two Tesla Model S There's some bad history with one of his two Tesla Model S. In 2018, one of his two Teslas was involved in a three-car crash in Los Angeles. The Tesla Model S produces 670HP and has a top speed of around 320 km/h. It can also accelerate from 0 to 100 in just over three seconds. Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG Pitt is often seen driving his 2008 Mercedes G-Wagon. It's a black Mercedes-Benz G 55 AMG SUV that's fitted with a 5.5-litre supercharged V8 engine that can do 0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. Audi Q7 Brad Pitt has chosen the Audi Q7 as his go-to vehicle for picking up his kids and everyday tasks. It's a popular choice among many celebrities and can do 0-100 in 7.7 seconds with its 280hp engine. BMW Hydrogen 7 This could be Pitt's rarest car in his collection. The BMW Hydrogen 7 has a unique engine, allowing drivers to switch between hydrogen gas and petrol. These were built between 2005 and 2007 as part of BMW's exploration of hydrogen-powered vehicles, and only 100 were ever produced. The car has been described as a 'green flex' given it's astronomical price tag. It's said to be worth around $2m. He was last seen driving this car while attending the premiere of Ocean's 13. 'HIGHEST OF HIGHS' A month on from the release of his F1 film, Brad Pitt has opened up about his behind-the-scenes racing experience, sharing which legendary Formula One circuit left him 'breathless'. While reviews of the movie have been mixed, it's clear that Pitt received a front-row seat to one of the world's most prestigious motorsport events. While filming the F1 movie, he drove on various race tracks that comprise the Formula 1 calendar. And now Brad Pitt has opened up and shared his experience on which Formula 1 track left him feeling the 'highest of highs'. During a recent podcast interview with Tom Clarkson on Beyond The Grid, Pitt opened up about his new-found appreciation for the world's most iconic circuits like Silverstone and Abu Dhabi. However, there was one track that made him feel completely different from the rest. And that crown belongs to Belgium's Spa-Francorchamps, commonly referred to as Spa. 'But the high of highs? Spa. Oh my god! 4.3 miles, 100-metre elevation … It's such a smooth, graceful feeling,' Brad Pitt said. 'And then of course, Eau Rouge, we went to the bottom of Eau Rouge, turned behind, looked up the hill and waited. 'Fernando Alonso went by, and it literally sucks the air out of your lungs. It is unbelievable. It is unbelievable. 'That was that same weekend we were driving, I'd been out, but I wasn't doing what Fernando was doing!'

Dua Lipa stuns with custom Porsche 911 GT3 RS at Goodwood Festival of Speed

Pop icon Dua Lipa arrived in style for the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed with a custom Porsche 911 GT3 RS worth more than $1 million. The bespoke supercar designed by Dua Lipa was the star of Porsche's display as she cruised up the fabled hill climb alongside racers from the all-female Iron Dames team.

Picture: Supplied The 'one kiss' singer styled a special livery for Porsche's sports car, combining striking turquoise, red, gold and dark green elements. This one-off Porsche will go under the hammer, auctioned off by RM Sotheby's, with proceeds going to the Sunny Hill Foundation, a charity that supports Kosovan causes including giving young women access to STEM education. 'I wanted to create something that fuses the emotion of music, design, and driving,' Dua Lipa said. 'The Sunny Hill Foundation has always been close to my heart, and this project is a celebration of the culture and creativity it supports.' Dua Lipa with Porsche's 911 GT3 RS. Picture: Supplied Dua Lipa's design is a wrap applied to a car with much more subtle arctic grey paint, along with pyro red wheels and carbon ceramic brakes gripped by yellow-painted calipers. Under the skin, the special Porsche is equipped with an optional 'Weissach' package featuring a roll cage, roof, and suspension elements made from carbon fibre to save weight. MORE: Why the 911 GT3 RS is the wildest car on sale The 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is an aerodynamic triumph. Powered by a 4.0-litre flat six engine, the 911 GT3 RS produces 380kW of power at a soaring 9000rpm. It's not the fastest car in a straight line – 0-100km/h is sorted in 3.2 seconds – but it is one of the quickest cars to lap circuits, thanks to enormous spoilers that generate huge amounts of downforce. Dua Lipa's car could appeal to collectors – as well as folks who missed out on the model, which is no longer available to order as the brand has introduced a newer, '992.2' series Porsche 911, which is not yet available in GT3 RS trim.

But lightly used examples are listed on websites such as Carsales for around $850,000 drive-away, suggesting Dua Lipa's exclusive example should be worth a seven-figure sum.
